The Usual Suspects (1995) Review
The Usual Suspects (1995) rates 8 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. A confession improvised from the noticeboard behind the detective's head. The twist survives knowing it, which is the only test that matters.
Actor: Gabriel Byrne
Gabriel Byrne played Tom Reagan in Miller’s Crossing, a man whose motives the film never explains, and it is among the most withholding lead performances in American cinema.
The Usual Suspects gave him Keaton, and Excalibur gave him Uther Pendragon in his first significant film.
In Treatment on television won him a Golden Globe, and he has written two memoirs, taught before acting, and been outspoken about the Irish industrial schools.
